  • New York Apple retail union organizers are asking for $30 an hour

    $30/hr is ridiculous for a retail worker. Here’s a radical idea. Apple Store workers should be paid on a draw+commission basis. No sell, no eat that week. That’s how I started (in1977) out selling musical instruments in a mall store. I got what was known as a ‘draw’ salary every month that went against any commissions I made in sales. My draw as $750/mo so if I sold enough product to earn $1000 in commissions I got $750 a draw check + $250 commission check. If the next month I only sold enough product to make $500 in commissions I still got my $750 draw but was now $250 in the hole so the following month I had to sell enough to make $1000 commission just to break even. Quite an incentive to work hard and sell, sell, sell. It quickly separates the men from the boys (and the women from the girls). 

    But somehow I think the entitled little pricks today would think that’s slave labor or something. They want $30/hr? For what? Standing around and showing people where the iPhone cases are? Trying to explain to some idiot why their iPad screen will cost money to repair because they dropped it and don't have AppleCare?
    It is a radical idea. If it worked so well, Apple would have done that in the very beginning.
    The Good Guys and Circuit City (adjusted to the Best Buy model of pushing extended warranties which pretty much forced all their good sales people to leave) had that same model for years. Where are they now? The idea of being "sold to" when going into the Apple Store would be a huge turn off for many. Take your draw against commission BS and leave it at car dealers.

    Apple shuts down NYC's stores for "remodeling" indefinitely.

    And it is still stupid.

    Apple should have added AMD models, not used souped-up phone chips in computers. 
    How so? Apple has had desktop class architecture since the A7's 64-bit SOC.
    Why should Apple rely on ANOTHER CPU manufacture when they've been burned multiple times over the decades?
